Hello,

first: thank you for developing that great software.

I have access to an indexer, where a lot of german releases are posted. A release / an item is posted like this:

As you can see the pasword for the protected archive is in the value field of newznab:attr name=“password”. If I download the nzb file its name is “release{{password123}}.nzb”.

Sonarr adds the download into SabNZBd but SabNZBd does not get the password.

Why does this happen? Is Sonarr expecting the password at another place?

Thank you in advance.

This isn’t something Sonarr has ever handled. In general the expectation is that things aren’t password protected.

Thank you, Markus.
The password is now saved in the head-tag directly in the nzb-file. A small, but helpful, workaround.
